I have a small colony of xenia growing on a half of an oyster shell. I would like to "glue" it to the back wall of my nano. Super glue won't work because most of the shell is concave. Is there a SW safe putty I could purchase? Thanks! Brand a where to puchase would be awesome

Well, I bought some Aquamend from Home Depot,,not only did it not hold but it left a white spot on my back wall! ugh! And it won't scrub off. I guess it would be OK for horizontal pieces but def not vertical. Anyone else have any suggestions as to mounting this piece?

for future reference there is no need to glue anything with something that spreads as fast as xenia. I would have just placed it against the back wall and the xenia will quickly spread on to the wall. I have done this a few times with xenia or star polyp and then I removed the rock it started on and only allowed it to grow on the back wall pretty nice effect but be careful then can overrun a tank pretty quick

Do NOT glue the xenia, just rest the xenia against the wall, it will climb on it, and attach to it, all by itself in a matter of days.
P.S. Chuck...I didn't see your post. so +1
